What are three moments in your childhood life you feel have shaped you? The first time I ever saw Giselle, the ballet my mother named me after, I thought... it was stupid? Boring. I was so young then I wasn't paying attention to the story, I think that is typical. When I saw it for the second time, years had passed. Watching it again I realized how beautiful it was, I felt I had matured because the aching was something I could relate to. That was the same year I had my first kiss so the romance was alluring to me. I became the type of person who loved that sort of stupid fantasy. The first time I saw my father hit my mother. I think beginnings are meaningful in some ways, even bad ones. Sometimes minds can change quickly, your image of someone can be changed so quickly. At that time I hadn't been expecting it but each time something happened in the future I thought of that moment. The feeling never changed to me. If I am betrayed or if I am forced here or there, if I am disappointed... It's all the same. But it's something that a person can become used to. Weaknesses can become strengths. I don't feel like my childhood was necessarily my time of blossoming as they say, so I might be off topic. Cutting my hair very short was quite a big deal for me in my preteen years, I felt like I became my own person so it stands out as important... I don't know why, is that silly? If I had to say a childhood memory then perhaps wearing my mothers makeup is similar. I have a fondness for dress up in that way, it's always stuck with me. I think there is a value in outward appearances. What are three personality traits you feel help define you and why? Resilient, because without it I would have given up on many things by now... I think this word has multiple meanings, so it might be cheating, but no matter how I think about it it's something I feel proud of. Being strong and being able to carry on is important. I think it's important as a woman especially. Gentleness is admirable, a trait to be desired by men. But becoming a damsel is something I'm fearful of, truthfully... If I am one then it is only to myself. Rêveur. Someone who dreams... Not in the way children do, but in the way that I think of things often. Hypothetical situations and conversations, fantasies of moments. The grandeur of what life could be. If I am not chasing my ideals then I am lost. I am someone who craves to be more not just for myself but for the eyes of others. Perhaps saying that makes me more typical than I thought. Empathetic. This trait I got from my mother, and it was learned... It wasn't something I was born with, but something I saw as valuable in her. Connecting and being genuine is a good way of gaining trust, is it not? If you are able to appear vulnerable for time to time... To be able to put yourself in that place without becoming lost, and to do that without faking it at the same time. People can tell when they are being lied to, so to me understanding and reading others is a way of living. Looking for: An arranged marriage (Slytherin), a "best friend", acquaintances, enemies etc. | |||
